In a statement, Chex Mix claimed it launched the collaboration after years of calls, petitions, and social media pleas. The music video was produced by award-winning director DAPS and features nostalgia enthusiast and content creator, Chrissy Allen.
“Chex Mix fans have been calling for the return of the bagel chip for years and we knew when the time came that we needed to bring it back in a big way,” said brand experience manager for Chex Mix, Stephanie Lensing.
"We’re thrilled to be partnering with mix master, Sir Mix-a-Lot, to not only bring back the bagel chip but to also drop a remix to his legendary song in its honour," she added.
Fans can catch the 'Bagel is Back' song and video by visiting chexmix.com and YouTube.
"You can’t name a better duo than Chex Mix and Sir Mix-A-Lot. But something was missing, we needed another hit in the membership, and knew we had to bring back the bagel chip—with a remix," said Sir Mix-a-Lot. "Chex Mix has always been a go-to snack for me, so I'm excited to collaborate on a remix to celebrate the return of this iconic piece."
